Tornadon is a large spiky windmonster from the anime seriesKirby: Right Back at Ya!. It appears in the episodeIsland of the Lost Warrior, where it uses its ability to conjure tornadoes to strandKirby and his friends on thetitular island and then attack them. It is promptly defeated by Kirby after he inhales one of its tornadoes to gain theTornado ability.

Characteristics[edit]

Tornadon is a large green reptile-like creature with a yellow face and belly with orange stripes. It has a long tail, but lacks legs, and its arms have propellers attached to them. It has a series of spikes that run along its back and has sharp teeth, though these do not come into play when the monster attacks. Although it is quite large, it can shrink down to fit inside the storage canister on theArmored Vehicle.

Tornadon attacks by using its propellers to conjure small tornadoes that fly out and disrupt or toss away its opponents. It can also start spinning around rapidly to create a much larger tornado and guide it around to wreak mass devastation. Ironically, it is also weak to tornado attacks, as Tornado Kirby uses the same sort of attacks to defeat it.
